Full Skirts in Full Force

A full calf length skirt is a perfect feminine winter piece to add to your wardrobe. This season's fall trend of full skirts can be found as cheap as $20.00 at Kohl's or Target! Urban Outfitters also offers a variety for around $39-$49. A long skirt for the cold weather is a great way to play up curves and bring out your figure. Pair the skirt with tights and ankle boots to complete the look.

Cute & Cozy

The weather is finally starting to cool down and actually feel like winter. One great way to keep cozy and update your outfit at the same time is to add a scarf! Scarves keep you warm and are a great addition to any winter outfit. One fun thing about scarves is they come in a variety of patterns, colors, and textures. The best part is that they are available at very affordable prices. You can find a variety of scarves for under $15 at Old Navy, Forever 21, and the Brass Plum section of Nordstrom.

Make a Statement

What a better way to spice up your wardrobe with a necklace that makes a statement. A necklace filled with chains, beads, and/or jewels is a perfect addition to a classic outift. Since it is a piece that might not be worn quite as often, you can find just as worthy designs in less expensive areas. We found this one from Forever 21.com for only $12.80. Other places to look include Target and Nordstrom.

Oversized t-shirt? Yes please!

Layering used to be the big trend with casual wear, but now the look to have is baggy, like the oversized t-shirt. The greatest thing about the comfortable shirt is the ability to transform it from a everyday casual outift to a classic night-out look. Wear it with skinny jeans and boots during the day, accessorizing with a scarf or a plain long necklace. For going out a night, throw on a pair of leggings or a high waisted skirt, with heels and a trendy pair of earrings. This is a simple top with so much potential. Theres no need to break the bank affording this piece, so don't worry. This shirt is by Lush, $26, available at Nordstrom.com
